Unfortunately the recession of 2008 was not an isolated incident. When it comes to emergencies, it’s not so much a question of if, but rather, when. So build up the emergency fund now, so that the when doesn’t catch you before you’re ready for it. Emergency or otherwise, unexpected expenses arise all the time.

My copy has a copyright date of 2008. Much of the information in it is basic personal finance guidance (with a biblical twist). I pick up a lot of them at garage sales for 25 cents to a $1. One I obtained in that manner is “The Sound Mind Investing Handbook” by Austin Pryor.
